John Hancock,s Fortune.

Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
~, 1t seems that John Hancock was in
England when George II. was buried, and
saw the coronation of George Ill. At 81
years of age he had fortune which over
shadowed any mercantile fortune in
America. The British government seized
one of his trading vessels. whereupon a
riot ensued, and this caused Hancock to be
particularly hated by the British officials.
The day after went to Quincy | saw
the window on the Old South church
through which, it is said, Hancock was
lifted to make speech about the Boston
massacre. He was then only about 81
years old. John Hancock used to ride
about in magnificent equipage with gold
silver and lace upon his person. his servants
in livery, and he gave card parties, concerts.
and was particular about his wines Samuel
Adams, distant relative of the Adamses,
of Quincy, was the poorer leader of the
Boston patriots. Hancock married Miss
Quincy, and had no children to inherit his
fortune.

An Enormous Saving.


Donnelly stirred up breeze in the house
Tuesday by reading a couple of letters from
the constituents OF different members that
had voted against his railroad freight bill, and
one of them, Mr.. Jones, replied with vigor
and emphasis; nevertheless, Mr.. Jones is
politically dead, as he should be. 1t has been
computed that this bill, if it became law,
would save the laboring people $2S, ,00O, ,O0O
annually, besides increasing the price of
wheat about cents per bushel.

A Powerful Lobby Suspected.

IT.
1t would be curious to examine the motives
which induced the members Of the house to
reconsider their thrice recorded votes in
favor of the bill known as Mr.. Donnelly's,
providing schedule of lowered rates for
grain transportation. There is no doubt of
the existence of powerful lobby in the rail-
road interests at st. Paul, but it is hard to
say whether the argument has been money
or some threats against the advancement of
certain localities made by the friends of the
corporations which the timid members of the
house could not withstand. Whatever it
was it seems to have been potent.

strong point that this is not to the discredit

CHICAGO, March 1.-Counsel for the
condemned anarchists have completed thei,

court at Ottawa. The brief makes a
pamphlet OF ninely-siX printed pages. At
the outset Lawyer SWEET admits that the
defendants or some of them have heau
guilty OF ''foolishneSs of speech and fool
ishness IN newspaper writing" but it is
Denied that any OF them have been illegally
connected with the throwing of the hav.

sentenced to fourteen years Imprisonment.

thorities. To the ''diabOIcal sentences and
suggestions" read from Most's book during
the trial Mr.. SWEET attributes mainly the
convection OF the defendants He argue:
that the book was not connected legally
with the defendants, and if for no other
reason than its introduction as evidence the
eight men should have new trial. Regard
ing MoStS book Mr. SWEET saws:
From the time of its introduction it was
waved like bloody shirt before the il,rv
and with this the imagination of the prosecI1.
tion knew no bounds in denunciation and by
it and by the book in evidence the attornev
for the state abused and made uneontrolable
the passions and prejudices of the Jury.
The brief also dwells in much detail upor
the alleged mjsapplication of the law OF
conspiracy in the trial. Mr. SWEET de-
clareS i'll conclusion that the bomb
throwing was the natural outgrowth of agi-
tation, having as legitimate an object as
John Browns raid was natural Outgrowth
OF the formation OF the Republican party.

GARDEN CITY. Kan, March 1-Word
has just been received here of a serious
shooting atfray at Coronado, Wichita
county, Sunday night. in which two men
lost their lives, four were fatally shot and
three were seriously injured. The killed
and fatally injured are from Leoti, and the
others from Coronado The trouble Oc-
CURED over the location of the county seat,
both towns being candidates for the honor.
Sunday night 4 crowd of men from Leoti
went to Coronado and during a dispute
over the electors, Charles Cotter. from
Leoti, struck Frank Lilly, of Coronado,
over the head with a revolver. Ezra
Loomis tried to stop the quarrel, and re-
ceived bullet from Cotter'S revolver on
the leg for his pains. The shooting then
became general, and resulted as follows:
William Payns, druggist, and Charles
Cotter. both of LeOti, were instantly killed;
Emmett Dimming, a liveryman; Frank
James, a son Of the mayor; - johnson
and Albert Bovey, manager of the Chicago
Lumber company, all from Leoti, were
fatally wounded. Frank Lilly, real eS-
tate agent; Charles Loomis and Ezra
Loomis. all from Coronado, were slightly
wounded. The scene of the fight is dis
tant several miles from railroad and tele-
of the affair are not yet known.
FURTHER DETAILS.
ABILERE, Kan, March IA specia.
from Wallace says in regard to the fight at
Coronado that party of armed men have
started from there with collins to bring
back the dead. The latest news from
the scene was to the effect that the dead
bodies were lying in the streets and the out
laws would not permit any one
to touch them. Further develop
ments are expected tomorrow. The
man Coulter is reported to have
twenty-one bullet holes in his body. He
was a desperate character. He has had
brothers who died with their boots on"
one being shot and the other lynched. That
further trouble will come from the affair,
causing more bloodshed may be surmised
from the fact that the Leoti men received
an express package this morning containing
$500 worth of fire arms.
